So what is it that prevents mentor / protégée relationships?
Narcissism.

Tom Cruise has talked about his abusive father, James Dean’s father was unloving and rejected him and well, let’s not even get into Lindsay Lohan’s parentage. Here’s more on narcissism.
‘…an infantile, defensive personality structure in response to abuse and trauma, usually developing in early childhood or early adolescence. They suggest that narcissistic personality disorder may be a maladaptive defense of the abused child's or adolescent's emotional splitting, resultant cognitive distortions, and negative/hostile worldview.’

I’m just sayin’.
